DALLAS, Aug. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nationwide insurance and civil
litigation firm Tyson & Mendes LLP announced today the opening
of its first office in Dallas,
Texas. This expansion strengthens the firm's presence in the
state known for delivering Nuclear Verdicts®, adding to its
existing offices in Houston and

"This expansion is in direct response to
the needs of our clients in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and the growing trend of

Jennifer Akre will lead the
Dallas office as its Managing

said Ms. Akre. "We are dedicated to providing exceptional legal

stopping unjust and outsized awards mandates we go to the
jurisdictions most prone to delivering them. Our clients deserve
it, and justice demands it. We are thrilled to continue our
